In 1997，my mother's gift gallery was filled with artwork and I began reflecting on my aim.My dreams became large，and so did my plans.The excitement of making a dream come true was upon me，and each day was full of hope as I achieved my goals.
In July of that year，I went into hospital suddenly.“Nothing rious，” I thought.“I'll be in h
锄禾日当午
ospital for veral days and soon be free of pain.And best of all，I'll have three weeks off work to work on the plan for the new gallery.” So it was with joy in my heart that I had an operation on July 14，1997.I would never be the same.
I awoke from the operation completely paralyzed.I could not move my arms，legs，fingers or toes.I sank into colorless and hopeless shape of despair (绝望)，becau my dreams of art slowly went far away.
And then something wonderful happened.My friend nt me a healing friend，a playful puck(小精灵)．More specifically，it was a doll to make me well.At that moment，I knew healing was mine，and then dreams came true.He made me smile.He made me get over the pain to feel joy again.
Six months later，I could walk.More importantly，my dreams came back again.I began communicating with artists and friends，and planning with business partners.Together with my family and friends，I have formed what I feel is the beginning of a bright and blesd institution.
